I. CARBON DIOXIDE TYPE EXTINGUISHERS

Use: On electrical fires, flammable liquids, delicate equipment, important documents, or fires in
confined spaces.
Note: Vapours will asphyxiate. Withdraw to open air after use.
Maintenance: This type of extinguisher should be examined every 12 months and the following
maintenance carried out :-
(i) The total weight should be checked against that recorded when the extinguisher was put
into service. If a loss of weight of more than 10 per cent is detected, the extinguisher
should be discharged and returned to the suppliers for examination, test and recharging.
(ii) The body of the extinguisher should be examined and, if there are signs of damage or
extensive external corrosion, the extinguisher should be discharged and returned to
suppliers for examination, test and recharging.
(iii) The discharge horn and hose should be checked to see that it moves freely and should be
replaced if damaged is detected.
(iv) Hydraulic pressure test should be carried out every five years on the cylinder in accordance
with the manufacturers' instructions. Extreme care should be exercised when preparing and
conducting the test.
(v) Unserviceable extinguisher should be discharged prior to disposal.
